did you hear that? that there's the sound of minds slamming shut

mindsplit:
do the divisions in society
reflect the walls in our head
or do they create them?

mindsplit:
defense mechanism
for protection
from mindfuck

groupthink:
defense mechanisms
for protection
from somebody else's
mindfuck?

mindfuck:
because some people
don't know
the difference
between making love,
being fucked,
or getting raped.

defense mechanisms
walls that don't exist
trauma-based control
we have all been violated
repeatedly abused
terrorized

today, i refuse
to engage in battle
with minds slammed shut
they only want to fight
to prove their mindfuck
is better than yours...
to rationalize away
that feeling of terror
at the very thought
any thought
not approved

the lines that divide don't even exist

fear makes people stupid
groupthink multiplies it
creates the "other" to hate

the memory hole

it doesn't matter how you vote, they are going to do whatever they want anyway, voting is just how they blame us for it. and if you send them letters, no matter how well thought out and carefully crafted, what usually happens is they go down the memory hole (a la orwell) and if you do actually get a response, it is only to tell you how wrong you are.

this is why i started blogging, and why i have never allowed ads on my blog(s) nor taken any money in exchange for my opinion. my voice was not being heard, but not due to a lack of me trying.

and when posts to my own personal blog started going down that same memory hole that swallowed my letters to congressmen and comments on news websites, i just started more blogs, and copy/pasted my words in several different places, for safekeeping. the old ways of creating public opinion don't work anymore.  the internet has leveled the playing field.  and if nobody else reads my blogs, the spooks whose job it is to shut people like me up do, and my voice is not silent.  so fuck ya

blowing in the wind

the problem with taking responsibility for your own life is that you can't blame anyone else for your bad decisions anymore. and that is what keeps the obedient ones following the leaders, they want somebody else to blame. and the problem with following the leader, is you don't get to decide where you are going. so when you end up there, where you never wanted to be, does blaming them for leading you there really help to make it any better? and how many times will we be led to war, pretending that we aren't aware of where that same path has always led us before?

random facebuk status dump

from inside the box it appears that we only have two options, to control or be controlled, pick your side, be the aggressor or play the victim. but outside the box is where the possibility is endless.  ...and the walls of the box are built of denial, once you notice them there, they don't exist anymore.

groupthink is bad for us
... consensus doesn't automatically make us wrong,
but can be a good reason to think a little harder,
just to make sure.

love-as-a-spiritual-experience

love is subjective, whomever you share it with is your business. it's a personal thing. subjectively, religion is also your own personal business. you don't have to share it with everyone. (objectively, religion is an abusive institution for societal control and that's why i don't like it much.) your personal relationship with whatever divinity you believe in is none of my concern. if you don't want anybody else telling you what you should believe you don't get to tell them what they should believe, either. that's when it gets personal.

it is way past time we stopped picking on people who don't love the way we think they should, or don't pray the way we think they should. because it's all the same, really.

STOP YELLING AT ME

go on,
talk about unity...
then hate the "others"
who aren't like you
or who aren't what you
think they should be?
fed a steady diet of lies
BE AFRAID
JOIN THE GROUP
FIGHT THE EVIL

isn't that how we got into this mess to begin with?
how is more of the same ever going to help?

spacey stacy: Plato, part 2

spacey stacy: Plato, part 2

... for if by being well educated they become reasonable men, they will easily see things for themselves, as well as all the other things we are omitting.

(and they can't let that happen)

To put it briefly, those in charge must cling to education and see that it isn't corrupted without their noticing it, guarding it against everything. Above all, they must guard as carefully as they can against any innovation in music and poetry or in physical training that is counter to the established order.

annual rant

explain to me please...
how someone can be so opposed to the things monsanto does, when they claim ownership of that which is sacred, life itself, in order to make a profit, and turn right around and celebrate the founding of a country based on that exact same principle as it was applied to the land. it's nothing new what they do, it's what they have always done. if we continue to deny the past, we are doomed to keep repeating it. maybe the loud explosions and all the beer have dulled the collective mind, we'll have to start doing our own thinking instead, if we want to get ourselves out of this mess.

say what?

but what if not everyone defines success as selling your soul to a corrupt institution that profits from destroying people's lives?

what if i don't want to look up to those people, or anybody? what if it's the thinking some people are better than others that is the problem, not those others you think you are better than?

what if we teach our children to believe in themselves, rather than such so-called role models society says they should emulate?

too many emotional triggers, brain not functioning... if you want to end violence against women (any kind of violence) you have to change how people see women. you fight the media that presents women as objects and creates the public opinion that makes it okay, not the victims of that brainwash. shaming them won't solve a thing.

how do you fight brainwash?
by thinking for yourself!
it's fun! it's easy!
anyone can do it!
and once you start trying it,
it's not so scary anymore.

BUT WAIT!! there's more...

the law only exists to limit freedom

...what scares people about freedom so much is that you can't predict what that will be like. and then their fear of freedom is what prevents it from happening. i don't think it would be so scary to just let people decide for themselves. they are gonna do what they want anyway, most of them in spite of all the attempts to control.

so all the expense, all the time all the money all the resources, put towards more controls could instead be redirected towards helping people to make better decisions, with the full realization that their better judgment might disagree with what anybody else thinks they should do. empowering people instead of oppressing them goes against everything plato told us to do, and that is exactly why it will work.

huh

the emperor has new clothes

and you can't see through the mask
you think you are hiding behind

yesterday

a new improved better brainwash program won't solve the problems created by having a brainwashed society.  it isn't about changing the message being transmitted to a more positive one. it's about empowering people to think for themselves. big difference.  and if people started thinking for themselves, all those other people who make it their job to tell us what to think would be out of work, and there's big money in propagandizing. they won't want that to happen.

freedom, undefined (again)

to define freedom
denies everyone else
their right
to define freedom
for themselves.
it doesn't work that way.

that is why
freedom, undefined

words like
"consensus" and "democracy"
are groupthinkspeak

a distraction

i refuse to apologize
for mentioning the hypocrisy
of the rulers chosen for us
who represent the most vile
corrupt institution of oppression
perhaps that ever there was.
and i refuse to "see reason"
if that means i have to agree
with anything those lying thugs
might have been told to say.
it's all just part of the show
emotional manipulations
mindrape, denied

pete and repeat were sitting on a fence...

(or, reruns)

there never was any separation between church and state. they are symbiotic parasites, neither can exist without the other, and we the people are the host.


the lion and the unicorn
were fighting for the crown
the lion chased the unicorn
clear 'cross the town
some gave them white bread
some gave them brown
some gave them plum-cake
and sent them out of town

such corporate entities aren't even real! they only exist as words on paper, yet they claim authority over every aspect of our lives, through the manufacture and manipulation of fear.

forgot to post this one here

you can't change what already was
you can't go back and make it go away
but if you can stop denying it
you could maybe stop repeating it

if people don't understand the difference between subject and object, they don't know who they are, and they can't recognize when that boundary has been violated. (and you end up with blurred lines and fifty shades, and other variations on the blame-the-victim themesong)

...

if indoctrination into your belief system is fear-based, you can't call it a religion of love. well, you could. i guess. but that's not what i call love.

and if your "spiritual" heirarchy resembles one of those MLM pyramid schemes, it's a scam. sure amway has some good products, but they got some shit, too. and do you really want to invite someone over who you know is just going to try to recruit you into joining the same scam, because that's how they get "higher" up?

and if you combine MLM and fear-based religious indoctrination, what do you get? pascal's wager! that's what! ...and christian apologetics, in general. which, as i've been harping on lately, is the objectification of subjective [spiritual] experience, and as such is used as a tool to control people, rather than empowering them, which would set us all free....

poem

love is...
a special kind of freedom that says:
you don't get to define what love is
or what it should be like, for me.

love is to be experienced
not fenced in, boxed in, restrained
hidden behind imaginary walls
twisted and distorted to fit your demands

my love won't obey your rules
the attempt to control it
only means you'll never have it
that special kind of freedom
what i call love

you know what they say...
maybe they're talking about something else
